One-Skillet Italian Sausage, Peppers & Onions
I’m all about easy, one-skillet dinners that are ready in 30 minutes. My family is all about flavor and just cares about how something tastes. We were all happy with this dish and the big flavors. Juicy sausage, sweet Vidalia onions, a hint of garlic, crisp-tender bell peppers, and tender rice. Rather than yet another chicken and rice dish, I swapped out the chicken and instead used Johnsonville Fresh Italian Hot Sausage Links. I used hot sausage because I wanted something to stand up and pop against the rice and it wasn’t too hot, but use mild sausage if you prefer.

Tips for Making Italian Sausage and Peppers
You’re welcome to use any color of bell pepper you have on hand for this sausage, peppers, and onions skillet. And if you only have one color of peppers, that works too! Make sure you’re using low-sodium chicken broth for this recipe, as Italian sausage often contains salt as well. And definitely taste this dish before adding extra salt and pepper at the end since it’s naturally salty already!
